Since arriving from Pai, Thailand, in 2006, chef Nuit Regular and her restaurateur husband, Jeff, have made a huge impact on the food scene in Toronto. In a sea of formulaic Thai takeout joints, Nuit was one of the first to make authentic Northern Thai food with quality ingredients, a formula that led to a succession of popular restaurants — Sukhothai, Khao San Road, Sabai Sabai, Pai and Kiin — plus a dedicated following for her regional specialties like khao soi. Here, Nuit shares her go-to recipes and best advice for cooking Thai food at home.
